Does anybody have information/experience on what communications bandwidth is needed to get reasonable X11 performance from a remote machine? From personal experience I know that 9.6 kbps is just too darn slow and that 10 Mbps (ethernet) is just fine. How about 64 kbps? 1.554 Mbps? Thanks for any replies. -- Thomas H.
